She's on a roll
While visiting my aunt, she told us about a minor car accident they'd had due to losing a wheel unexpectedly.
Aunt: "The steering column started to vibrate first, and we didn't know it was a problem, and I grabbed onto it and said to [passenger], 'Look, I'm Dolly Parton! #IIIIIIiiiiieeeeIIIIIIiiiieeeeIIIIIiiii, willlllll allllllwayyyyys lovvvvvve yooOOOOOOOuuuuu....#' and then there was a bump and I looked out the window and said 'That's my fucking wheel rolling away!', and then we went 'clonk' and stopped."
Mammy: "You know what she did as her encore? '#You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel...#' "

Zing!
During my unexpected extra day at home, there was a family chat re. my upcoming additional year in university -
Uncle Martin: "Well, you know, it's a good year to have stayed back, with the economy and all -"
Me: "Yeah, everything's up in the air at the moment."
Mammy: "Except aeroplanes."
